Hi everyone

Can anyone please help me out - I have been searching everywhere for this info and can't find it.

I am connected to HomeChoice ADSL Broadband, where our modem is downstairs in the living room. My PC is upstairs and so I have an external cable going from outside to my computer through a USB dongle.

Only concern is the GO-NET adaptor I just ordered from Special Reserve. I am hoping to use it for SOCOM Navy Seals on the PS2, and I have heard that I can connect my PS2 to the PC, which is connected to the modem downstairs. However, I would prefer to switch on just my PS2, without having to use my PC as a middle man.

Thing that bugs me is that in order to get the PC to find my modem, an installaion disc supplied with it was included, which was obviously vital to have my PC go online using that modem. So how does the GO-NET make my PS2 pick up the modem when the installation CD for the modem cannot be read on my PS2.

PLEASE NOTE - My connection to the modem is USB, so I was wondering if it's possible to setup the GO-NET software and simply attach my USB modem cable to the PS2 USB socket.

Thanks for your help.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your replies.

Hey FantasyMeister, how's it going?

Regarding the games being combatible, Datel have officially stated on their site at www.datel.co.uk that SOCOM will work with this adaptor. In fact, it was the frist game listed on their page. Cool!

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Peace!

P.S. I was just reading reviews of Datel's Go-Net on a few U.S. sites. Maybe Special Reserve might like to test it out with Midnight Club 2, because some people say that some games are programmed only to work with the official Sony PS2 Network Adaptor.
